| The '''Lorwyn block''' is the thirteenth [[block]]; unlike all previous blocks, it consist of only two sets: the [[large expansion]], ''[[Lorwyn]]'' ([[File:LRW symbol.png|100x21px]]) and the [[small expansion]], ''[[Morningtide]]'' ([[File:MOR symbol.png|100x21px]]). The block came out in 2007-2008.
| | #Redirect[[Lorwyn–Shadowmoor block]] |
| | |
| [[Keywords]] introduced in this block: [[Champion]], [[Changeling]], [[Clash]], [[Evoke]], [[Hideaway]], [[Kinship]], [[Prowl]], and [[Reinforce]].<br>
| |
| | |
| [[Planeswalker]], a new card type, debuted in this block. [[Tribal]], another new card type, debuted in the previous block but was fleshed out in ''Lorwyn''.<br>
| |
| | |
| The race/class system is a major theme of this block. Each creature in the block belonged to one of the following nine creature types: [[Elementals|Elemental]], [[Elves|Elf]], [[Faeries|Faerie]], [[Giants|Giant]], [[Goblins|Goblin]], [[Kithkin]], [[Merfolk]], [[Shapeshifters|Shapeshifter]], and [[Treefolk]].
| |
| | |
| ==Mega Cycles==
| |
| Three [[mega cycle]]s exist across the block's two sets:
| |
| * '''Mono-colored legends''': Each of these [[rare]] [[legendary]] creatures represents one of the main protagonists of the ''[[Lorwyn]]'' and ''[[Morningtide]]'' novels {{-}} <c>Brigid, Hero of Kinsbaile</c>, <c>Vendilion Clique</c>, <c>Maralen of the Mornsong</c>, <c>Ashling the Pilgrim</c>, <c>Rhys the Exiled</c>.
| |
| * '''Rare changelings''': Each of these rare [[Shapeshifters|shapeshifter]] creatures has [[changeling]] and another powerful ability {{-}} <c>Mirror Entity</c>, <c>Shapesharer</c>, <c>Cairn Wanderer</c>, <c>Taurean Mauler</c>, <c>Chameleon Colossus</c>.
| |
| * '''Tribal lands''': Each of these rare [[land]]s comes into play tapped unless you reveal a card in your hand of a certain creature type; there was one for each of the block's eight tribes.
| |
| ** The tribal lands from ''[[Lorwyn]]'' could each be tapped for either of its tribe's colors {{-}} <c>Ancient Amphitheater</c> (giants, red and white), <c>Auntie's Hovel</c> (goblins, red and black), <c>Gilt-Leaf Palace</c> (elves, green and black), <c>Secluded Glen</c> (faeries, blue and black), and <c>Wanderwine Hub</c> (merfolk, blue and white).
| |
| ** The tribal lands from ''[[Morningtide]]'' had different abilities from the lands in the previous set but shared their "tribal untap" ability {{-}} <c>Murmuring Bosk</c> (treefolk, counts as a [[Forest]], can also be tapped for white or black mana at the cost of 1 damage), <c>Primal Beyond</c> (elementals, can be tapped for any color of mana but only to pay for elemental spells), and <c>Rustic Clachan</c> (kithkin, can be tapped only for white mana but has [[reinforce]]).
| |
| ** Two cards, the [[common]] <c>Shimmering Grotto</c> and rare <c>Mutavault</c>, were associated with the [[Shapeshifters#Changelings|changeling]] "tribe," but were not part of the cycle.
